As per the first part, I am well aware of the circumstances. That being said, ALSO, ignorance of the law is no excuse. I can always demand a removal per DCMA and their ISPs will probably comply. The more I've checked into that, more and more ISPs will just yank the account rather than suffer from larger litigation per their intentional non-action regarding DCMA claims.

As to the 2nd part, I don't really care since it is a temporary situation. The gun will get sold and the posting goes away anyway. I am curious though, if they know they're posting pics of full auto guns, which is pretty funny LOL

So it's up to you, but I don't feel a pressing need to slam them. It's not like they're like those douchebags lifting ENTIRE SECTIONS of imfdb part and parcel onto their own sites and claiming it as their own.

I'll at least email them and tell them that they're showing a picture of a full-auto weapon. I imagine the fear of dealing with ATF will be a lot scarier than copyright laws.

So the problem is two fold.
Pertinent to us as a website: They used MPM's pic w/out asking.
More so just funny: They used a fully automatic blank converted gun pic to represent a civilian model.

:O All kinds of wacky.

The auction is over... the pic's gone...

I'm pretty sure ATF is monitoring major firearms related forums and websites, including this one. Chances are, they already know about it.

They also think plastic airsoft toys can be converted to live-firing selective-fire weapons with "minimal work", so sometimes I question their competency.

Though it's still a bad idea to try them, of course.

No, it isn't. I'm looking at the webpage myself and the pic currently on there looks identical to MPM's.

I'm pretty sure the pic was removed yesterday. My bad.
